Saturday Painting Palooza Vol.436

Hello again painting fans.

This week I will be starting an entirely painting. The photo that I will be using is seen directly below. I will be using my usual acrylics on a 8x10 gallery-wrapped canvas.

This is a house in Cape May, New Jersey that I have actually painted once before many years ago, but not very well. This time around I intend to do much better. Currently, this house does not look as it does in the photo. It has since been painted in a bizarre combination of red and ochre. Pretty it is not. Thankfully, I have my old photo for reference.

I started with a grid and then drew in the outline of the house. I have painted in some color to better highlight the outline of the home. I'm pleased so far.

The current state of the painting is seen in the photo directly below.
